§ 18. Mr. Turtonasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation on what date he received a letter from the Yorkshire Gliding Club about Air Navigation Regulations; whether he has replied to that letter; and what action he is taking to meet their complaints.
§ Mr. LindgrenA letter dated 6th April was received by my noble Friend and has been answered by him. The reply dealt fully with the points raised and indicates that one of the matters, namely, the difficulty of applying the regulations relating to marks on aircraft to certain types of gliders used for practice and instruction, is being considered, together with other matters that have been raised by the British Gliding Association.
§ Mr. TurtonWill the Parliamentary Secretary explain why last week he failed to mention the letter received from the Yorkshire Gliding Club and why he described the information I gave about that letter as incorrect?
§ Mr. LindgrenIf the hon. Gentleman will refer to HANSARD he will see that he referred to the gliding club movement. Yorkshire is important, but it is not a movement yet.
